Artist: Mirko Köckenberger 

Photo by Robert Pater

Here’s something you haven’t seen before. Mirko is a handstand artist. You read that right – his specialty is performing and posing on his hands. Translation: you could break a 2×4 over his abs. He has a Vimeo channel with only one short video, but Youtube provided some more interesting things like this. He hails from Germany, and his website is here.

Not exactly a ballet dancer; more of a circus thing, really, but that photo is too gorgeous not to reblog before I go to bed.

I want to source this, but I can’t remember where it’s from 🙁 It does not belong to me, however. 

As a little boy growing up in England, all Thad wanted was to run away to the jungle and be like Tarzan. No more homework. No more oatmeal. No one stiff church clothes. When Thad got older, he eventually accepted it was far too late to be raised by apes… and he was far too spoiled by modern life to stick it out in the brutal untamed wilderness. So, Thad did the next best thing – he joined the circus. Got the same reaction from his mother and everything.
